THE RING AND THE FISH


Thomas 
and 
Inger, who 
live 
in 
Sweden, 
are the 
happiest couple in the world. 
Two 
years 
ago, 
they 
were 
on 
a 
boat a few kilometres from 
the beach. 
Thomas asked Inger to 
marryhim 
and he 
gave her 
a gold ring. 
He 
wanted 
to put 
the ring 
on Ingers finger, but hedropped it and it fell into the sea. 
They 
were 
sure the ring was lost for ever.

That is, until last 
week, when Mr 
Carlsson visited them. 
He 
has a 
fish shop and 
he 
foundthe 
ring 
in a 
large fish which he was 
cutting 
up for one of 
his customers. 
The fish thoughtthe ring was something to 
eat! 
Mr 
Carlsson knew 
that the 
ring belonged to 
Thomas 
andInger 
because 
inside the 
ring 
there 
were some 
words. 
They 
were, To Inger, All 
my 
love,
Thomas. 
And so 
Mr Carlsson gave the ring back 
to them.

Inger 
now has 
two 
rings. 
When they 
lost the first one, Thomas bought Inger another one.
But they 
think the 
one the fish ate is 
the best one.

Thomas asked 
Inger to 
marry 
him

Commentary

This 
candidate attempted all three 
pieces of 
information. 
However, 
the 
reader 
needs 
to 
interpret 
whatthe 
candidate 
means 
for 
the 
second 
content point, 
which room they 
like 
best. 
Because of 
this, thescript was awarded 3.

Commentary

This answer 
only 
covers two of 
the content 
points, 
which room 
they 
like 
best and why. 
That thehouse is 
'
in Japan' is not 
a 
satisfactory 
answer 
to 
'
where 
the new 
house 
is' 
and 
the 
errors 
in 
spellingand 
grammar 
in 
the 
rest 
of 
the 
text 
are 
too extensive 
to 
justify 
3 
points. 
The candidate 
was 
thereforeawarded 2 marks.

Ingrid McFarlane
Zoo Keeper


When I left school at 
eighteen, I got 
a job at 
a zoo as 
a


student keeper. 
Now, five 
years later, things have changed 
I have passed 
my 
exams and I am 
a full animal keeper.

The 
money 
is not 
good. 
I 
only 
get 9,000 a 
year. 
You have to be 
outside 
in 
rain 
and 
snow,
which is hard work, and 
you get very 
dirty. 
But 
this 
doesnt 
matter 
to 
me 
because 
animalsare the 
most 
important thing in 
my 
life!

There are a hundred 
monkeys 
and fifty 
deer in 
my 
part of 
the zoo 
and 
I 
give 
them 
their 
foodand clean their houses. 
I also need to 
watch 
them 
carefully 
to 
be sure 
that 
they 
are 
all 
well.
In 
fact, 
rhinos 
are my 
favourite animals and 
so last 
year I went to Africa with 
a colleague fora month to 
study 
them.

The zoo is 
open every 
day 
and I work five different days 
each 
week. 
I 
live 
in 
a 
small 
flattwenty 
minutes away 
and I 
get up at 
ten to 
seven and start 
work at eight. 
The first thing 
I 
dowhen I get 
home 
at 
quarter past five is have a 
shower!

Ingrid 
would like 
to 
A 
take 
some 
exams.
B

money.
C

her 
job.

feel about working in

She hates

B 
She doesn't

C 
She likes

23 
If 
Ingrid doesnt check the 
monkeys, 
A 
they 
may 
become 
ill.
B 
they 
may 
get hungry.
C 
they 
may
